Hello,
After Bsc, you have multiple options.
- Complete your M.Sc Psychology. This would be your foundation + stepping stone for further diversification into the field of your choice.
- After M.Sc, you could consider M.Phil in Psychology or Philosophy. From the evolutionary aspect, Philosophy is considered Psychology’s mother.
- In parallel or subsequent to M.Sc, you can continue to research/study other branches/specializations in Psychology like
-
- Abnormal Psychology
- Behavioral Psychology
- Bio psychology
- Clinical Psychology
- Cognitive Psychology
- Comparative Psychology
- Counseling Psychology
- Existential Psychology
- From what I understand, the above are well-established. There could be other branches in the domain.
- Keep researching on the various development and prospects in Psychology domain. An “imperfect science”, Psychology is definitely evolving, vast and expansive, and I believe, also intriguing and prospective, money-wise and growth-wise.
- There is a lot of ongoing research + experiments + technology integrations + postulations/hypotheses by experts + studies, cases in point, telekinesis, teleportation, telepathy, ESP and the Paranormal.
- It is worth noting that a vast part of this expanse of this “study of the mind and behavior” is still unexplored and thus unravelling.
